baltimore sun article

It's behind a free login (you do have the BugMeNot extension installed, right?) but it's worth a read. The Baltimore Sun's article is titled Mozilla nips at Microsoft: Firefox makes modest inroads in browser market and it does a reasonable job covering the last few months worth of excitement.

update: the text of the article seems to have made it in to the comments. I wonder if I should remove that.

update2: ahh, it's the Wall Street Journal article I'm told. OK. Cool.

Didn't we see this article somewhere several days ago?

Asa:
I would suggets you remove the article pastes here in the comments, and just suggest that people use the bugmenot extension instead.

According to the by-line in this web-article, this author is from the Wall Street journal. This article is a copy of the Wall Street Journal Article mentioned on Mozillazine recently.

I had a difficult time finding BugMeNot, in part because it is for FireFox .9x and not PR1. The extensions page shows all extensions for 1.0PR, and thus this extension was not present. They really need to have some kind of search capability for extensions on the extension page. It can be hard to locate a specific extension if you hear about it by name (as was the case for me), but didn't realize that it was not yet (ported) over for the PR release. (A link to the extension's page would have been nice when it was mentioned, but this ain't my blog.)

Q: if Opera's open source, why does no-one remove the ad banner?
A: the Baltimore Sun haven't checked their facts.
